To the editor:

I am outraged and disgusted with our president and politicians. At a time when many people have to choose between eating and paying for their meds, and trying to stay alive, we are going to provide contraception and abortions free wirh no co-pay.The president states "the insurance companies will pay." We the taxpayers will pay. Insurance rates will go up even more. We rejected capital punishment for criminals, but we OK killing the unborn! Does this sound right? We stopped my husband's Alzheimers meds because the co-pays were $500 for 90 days. A relative just paid a co-pay of $4,000 for 30 pills. Does this make sense? What's next? Poison pills for people over 80? Pregnancy is not a disease. It's a choice and you always have Planned Parenthood at the rescue. They brag about getting thousands of dollars in donations. Let them pay. The cry is we are against women's rights. What about our rights?
